I never quite get these. Too big & heavy to haul around on a regular basis but very expensive to use in the house when you can build yourself a nice desktop rig for a whole lot less.

That said, the specs are staggering for a notebook - it has way better GPUs than my gaming rig!

@Retset: The market seems to be those people who want to either want to frequently move it to different rooms in the same house, or want to pack it away after use (either because they've got limited space or because they don't like the look of it).

@Retset:
Just FYI, don't forget that unlike nVidia's desktop 260/280 cards, its LAPTOP 280s are essentially slightly upgraded 9800 chips (much like the desktop 250 - confused yet?).

@Xiphias:
Don't forget the LAN-party crowd, and those who want to take their machine to a friend's house for some local network gaming or even - gasp - split-screen (GLTron rules in split-screen four player ;)
Also handy for those with more than one home.
